UI allows entry of invalid dates which causes errors

Details

    Description

      The issue creation / editing UI allows the entry of invalid dates, which then cause errors when JIRA attempts to display them.

      1) Create a new issue.
      2) Set the Due Date to "14/Jan/65536" and save the issue.
      3) Search for the issue in the Issue Navigator.

      A velocity error is displayed instead of the search results:

      An error occurred whilst rendering this message. Please contact the administrators, and inform them of this bug. 
Details: ------- org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'getHtml' in class 
com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.layout.column.ColumnLayoutItemImpl threw exception class 
com.atlassian.jira.util.LuceneUtils$DateParsingException : Input is not valid date string: 655360113130000 at 
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTMethod.execute(ASTMethod.java:249) at 
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTReference.execute(ASTReference.java:175) at 
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTReference.value(ASTReference.java:327) at 
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTExpression.value(ASTExpression.java:51) at 
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTSetDirective.render(ASTSetDirective.java:95) at 
...

      Consequently, unless the ID for the incorrect issue is known, the users cannot find the issue again to remove the invalid data.

      4) Navigate to the Dashboard and look at the Activity Stream gadget.

      It displays an error box which links to a System Error page:

      Error occured getting activity: Input is not valid date string: 655360113130000
